Numeric Response 4. In an arithmetic series, the first term is -12 and the 15th term is 40. The sum of the first 15 terms is (Record your answer in the numerical-response section below.)

Your answer should be in.0000​

Answers

Answer 1

In any artihmetic sequence, consecutive terms differ by a fixed constant c. So given the first term a, the second term is a + c, the third terms is a + 2c, and so on, up to the n-th term a + (n - 1)c.

If the 15th term is 40, then

40 = -12 + (15 - 1) c   ==>   c = 52/14 = 26/7

We can then write the n-th term as

-12 + (n - 1) 26/7 = (26n - 110)/7

The sum of the first 15 terms is then

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{15}\frac{26n-110}7 = \frac{26}7\sum_{n=1}^{15}n - \frac{110}7\sum_{n=1}^{15}n = \boxed{210}[/tex]

Another way to compute the sum: let S denote the sum,

S = -12 - 58/7 - 32/7 + … + 228/7 + 254/7 + 40

Reverse the order of terms:

S* = 40 + 254/7 + 228/7 + … - 32/7 - 58/7 - 12

Notice that adding up terms in the same position gives the same result,

-12 + 40 = 28

-58/7 + 254/7 = 28

-32/7 + 228/7 = 28

so that

S + S* = 2S = 28 + 28 + 28 + … + 28 + 28 + 28

There are 15 terms in the sum, so

2S = 15×28   ==>   S = 15×28/2 = 210

Answers

Answer:

(4,4)

y = 4

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to input y = 1/2x + 2 into 4x - 2y = 8.

4x - 2 (1/2x + 2) = 8 <-- Then solve

4x - 1x + -4 = 8

3x - 4 = 8

    +4   +4

---------------------

3x    =    12

3             3

x = 4

Now we need to use x and apply it to find y.

y = 1/2x + 2

y = 1/2(4) + 2

y = 2 + 2

y = 4

Now to graph go on the x axis (horizontal axis) and go to 4, then up 4 on the y axis.

You need to graph the point (4,4).

evaluate and solve: y + 3 = –y + 9

Answers

The value of y is 3.

Answer:

Solution given;

: y + 3 = –y + 9

add +y on both term

y+y+3=-y+y+9

subtract both side by 3

2y+3-3=9-3

2y=6

divide both side by 2

2y/2=6/2

y=3

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y + 3 = –y + 9

Add y to each side

y+y + 3 = –y +y+ 9

2y +3 = 9

Subtract 3 from each side

2y+3-3 = 9-3

2y = 6

Divide by 2

2y/2 = 6/2

y = 3

△ABCis reflected to form​​ ​△A′B′C′​. The vertices of △ABC are A(3, 1), B(1, 5), and C(6, 9). The vertices of △A′B′C′ are A′(−1, −3), B′(−5, −1), and C′(−9, −6). Which reflection results in the transformation of ​△ABC​​ to ​△A′B′C′​​? Reflection across the x-axis reflection across the y-axis reflection across y = x reflection across y=−x I NEED HELP PLS The answer choies are: A. Reflection across the x-axis B. Reflection across the y-axis C. Reflection across y = x D. Reflection across y=−x

Answers

Answer:  D) reflection across y = -x

Explanation:

When we reflect over y = x, we basically swap x and y. So for instance, the point (3,1) becomes (1,3).

When reflecting over y = -x, we will do the same thing but we'll make each coordinate swap in sign from positive to negative (or vice versa). The rule for reflecting over y = -x is [tex](x,y) \to (-y,-x)[/tex]

So if we apply that rule to point A(3,1) then it becomes A ' (-1, -3).

Similarly, B(1,5) moves to B ' (-5, -1)

Finally, C(6,9) becomes C ' (-9, -6)

If it is a direct variation

y/x = constant

-8/4 = -2

-12/6 = -2

This is a direct variation

17.

y/x = -1/2 /-2 = 1/4

y/x = -1/-1 = 1

This is not a direct variation

If it is an indirect variation then

yx = constant

This is an indirect variation

Captain Liz is going to load her cruise ship with bags of sugar. She has room for 19 bags of sugar. She has allotted for 121 pounds of sugar on her ship. She can choose from 7-pound bags (the variable s) or 10-pound bags (the variable p). Which equations would be a constraint to Captain Liz maximizing her sugar load?

Correct answers with explanations will earn you brainliest :)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]19 = s + p[/tex] and [tex]121 = 7s + 10p[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we use constraints given by the problem to set up two equations:

We can only have a total of 19 bags, so:

[tex]19 = s + p[/tex]

Then, we want to maximize her sugar load. Using the info on the weight of each bag and the max carrying capacity:

[tex]121 = 7s + 10p[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sugar from 7 pound bags be represented by = s

And let the sugar from 10 pound bags be represented by = p

As given, Captain Liz has room for 19 bags of sugar.

This becomes [tex]s+p=19[/tex]      .......(1)

Also given is , she has room for 19 bags of sugar, so equation becomes:

[tex]7s+10p=121[/tex]     ............(2)

Hence, these are the correct equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

144,5/170×100 =85%

Answer:

200 students in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr.Cruz is the director of an after-school program. He says that 170 students, or 85% of the students in his program, went on to attend college. A parent wants to know the total number of students in the program.

?/T = 85%

Where T = Total

85% = 170 students

Set-up the dimensions like this!

part/whole = part/whole

170/T = 85%/100

Multiply 170 by 100

170 • 100 = 17000

Then divided by 85

17000 divided by 85 = 200

Answers

Answer:

C=125°

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

To find angle C, we can use the cosine law:

[tex]cosC=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}[/tex]

Plug in the given information

[tex]cosC=\frac{9^2+3^2-11^2}{2(9)(3)}[/tex]

[tex]cosC=\frac{-31}{54}[/tex]

[tex]C=cos^-^1(\frac{-31}{54})[/tex]

[tex]C=cos^-^1(\frac{-31}{54})\\C=125[/tex]

Therefore, angle C is approximately 125 degrees.
